No (not at this time ;-)

Use case:

A user is interested in text documents which were published within a
certain time interval / date range and which contain a string of text
(or something similar to that string) or where meta data contains this
string. In other words: the user interface would be a form consisting of
three fields: one for the start date, one for the end date and one for a
search string.
